Corset Update :)

I finished binding on almost my entire first half of my Elizabeth Swann corset! It finally looks like something resembling a corset now which makes work on it all the more enjoyable. But...the best part...I started doing the eyelets...I love them. :)
These are the front eyelets which are smaller than those in the back:

And these are the back eyelets:You can't really tell the difference in the photos I suppose. But I had to show them to you anyway. :)

I love hand sewing the eyelets, although I'm not a huge fan of hand sewing the whole corset. I think on my next corset I'll use the machine and then do the eyelets by hand. I just love the authentic feel they give to the garment!

But...I still have a whole half of a corset to go!

1995 Pride and Prejudice Costumes

I ran across an interesting article on the costumes in the A&E Pride and Prejudice that I thought some of you might be interested in. You can view it HERE. My, I'd forgotten how much I loved this film. It's been rather neglected as the new one is shorter and therefore easier to watch in an evening.

But really...I love this adaption. :)

I think I may pull it out and watch it today while I work on my regency gown. :)

Also, if any of you are interested in notes on the costumes in this version of Pride and Prejudice, as well as the 2005 adaption, there is a wonderful site HERE.

SALE!!

Until the end of November I am having a sale on several items in my shop. Head over and check it out.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Kitty and Lydia

I simply love Kitty and Lydia's costumes in Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice. I think they are so beautiful and colorful.

I think my favorite is Kitty's pink dress with the green jacket.

But they are all so pretty...

The bonnets are lovely as well with their soft ribbons...

Here are some pictures of dresses with out the jackets:
I love this one...(It's also re-used in the film Becoming Jane, worn by Jane's sister Cassandra)

I can't wait to make these costumes!

New Accessories in the Shop...

Royal Wooly Badgie Bow Messenger:

And Buttony Fingerless Elbow Gloves in Deep RedAre now in my shop, thanks to a hard day of work yesterday. :)

Lovely Clothes

I've been sewing things for my shop all day and I'm sooo excited about what I've made! But you'll have to wait to see just a little while longer.

In the meantime...how amazing is this shirt? I think it's from Anthropologie since I typed in "Anthroplogie clothes" in my google image search and this was one of the things that came up.

Aren't the yo-yo's lush? :)

I also came across all these lovely dresses....
I'm staying home the rest of the week to sew sew sew like crazy and finish up some projects for my shop as well as make some Christmas presents. I've got some fun ideas up my sleeve...but I can't post them until after Christmas as they must be a suprise to those getting them. But I promise pictures after Christmas. :)
